feat(llms): Add build-time LLM-friendly Markdown generation

Implements static Markdown generation during Hugo build.

**Key Features:**
- Two-phase generation: HTML→MD (memory-bounded), MD→sections (fast)
- Automatic redirect detection via file size check (skips Hugo aliases)
- Product detection using compiled TypeScript product-mappings module
- Token estimation for LLM context planning (4 chars/token heuristic)
- YAML serialization with description sanitization

**Performance:**
- ~105 seconds for 5,000 pages + 500 sections
- ~300MB peak memory (safe for 2GB CircleCI environment)
- 23 files/sec conversion rate with controlled concurrency

**Configuration Parameters:**
- MIN_HTML_SIZE_BYTES (default: 1024) - Skip files below threshold
- CHARS_PER_TOKEN (default: 4) - Token estimation ratio
- Concurrency: 10 workers (CI), 20 workers (local)

**Output:**
- Single pages: public/*/index.md (with frontmatter + content)
- Section bundles: public/*/index.section.md (aggregated child pages)

**Files Changed:**
- scripts/build-llm-markdown.js (new) - Main build script
- scripts/lib/markdown-converter.cjs (renamed from .js) - Core conversion
- scripts/html-to-markdown.js - Updated import path
- package.json - Updated exports for .cjs module

with build-time static generation for production deployment.

feat(deploy): Add staging deployment workflow and update CI

Integrates LLM markdown generation into deployment workflows with
a complete staging deployment solution.

**CircleCI Updates:**
- Switch from legacy html-to-markdown.js to optimized build:md
- 2x performance improvement (105s vs 200s+ for 5000 pages)
- Better memory management (300MB vs variable)
- Enables section bundle generation (index.section.md files)

**Staging Deployment:**
- New scripts/deploy-staging.sh for local staging deploys
- Complete workflow: Hugo build → markdown gen → S3 upload
- Environment variable driven configuration
- Optional step skipping for faster iteration
- CloudFront cache invalidation support

**NPM Scripts:**
- Added deploy:staging command for convenience
- Wraps deploy-staging.sh script

**Documentation:**
- Updated DOCS-DEPLOYING.md with comprehensive guide
- Merged staging/production workflows with Lambda@Edge docs
- Build-time generation now primary, Lambda@Edge fallback
- Troubleshooting section with common issues
- Environment variable reference
- Performance metrics and optimization tips

**Benefits:**
- Manual staging validation before production
- Consistent markdown generation across environments
- Faster CI builds with optimized script
- Better error handling and progress reporting
- Section aggregation for improved LLM context

**Usage:**
```bash
export STAGING_BUCKET="test2.docs.influxdata.com"
export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
export STAGING_CF_DISTRIBUTION_ID="E1XXXXXXXXXX"

yarn deploy:staging
```

refactor: Remove Lambda@Edge implementation

Build-time markdown generation has replaced Lambda@Edge on-demand
generation as the primary method. Removed Lambda code and updated
documentation to focus on build-time generation and testing.

Removed:
- deploy/llm-markdown/ directory (Lambda@Edge code)
- Lambda@Edge section from DOCS-DEPLOYING.md

Added:
- Testing and Validation section in DOCS-DEPLOYING.md
- Focus on build-time generation workflow

-## Lambda\@Edge Markdown Generator
+This guide covers deploying the docs-v2 site to staging and production environments, as well as LLM markdown generation.
 
-docs.influxdata.com uses a Lambda\@Edge function for on-demand markdown generation from HTML documentation. The generated markdown files are optimized for LLMs, coding assistants, and agents.

+## Staging Deployment
+
+Staging deployments are manual and run locally with your AWS credentials.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **AWS Credentials** - Configure AWS CLI with appropriate permissions:
+   ```bash
+   aws configure
+   ```
+
+2. **s3deploy** - Install the s3deploy binary:
+   ```bash
+   ./deploy/ci-install-s3deploy.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Environment Variables** - Set required variables:
+   ```bash
+   export STAGING_BUCKET="test2.docs.influxdata.com"
+   export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
+   export STAGING_CF_DISTRIBUTION_ID="E1XXXXXXXXXX"  # Optional
+   ```
+
+### Deploy to Staging
+
+Use the staging deployment script:
+
+```bash
+yarn deploy:staging
+```
+
+Or run the script directly:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/deploy-staging.sh
+```
+
+### What the Script Does
+
+1. **Builds Hugo site** with staging configuration (`config/staging/hugo.yml`)
+2. **Generates LLM-friendly Markdown** (`yarn build:md`)
+3. **Uploads to S3** using s3deploy
+4. **Invalidates CloudFront cache** (if `STAGING_CF_DISTRIBUTION_ID` is set)
+
+### Optional Environment Variables
+
+Skip specific steps for faster iteration:
+
+```bash
+# Skip Hugo build (use existing public/)
+export SKIP_BUILD=true
+
+# Skip markdown generation
+export SKIP_MARKDOWN=true
+
+# Build only (no S3 upload)
+export SKIP_DEPLOY=true
+```
+
+### Example: Test Markdown Generation Only
+
+```bash
+SKIP_DEPLOY=true ./scripts/deploy-staging.sh
 ```
-User Request (*.md)
-    ↓
-CloudFront Distribution
-    ↓
-Lambda@Edge (Origin Request)
-    ↓
-Fetch HTML from S3
-    ↓
-Convert to Markdown (using shared library)
-    ↓
-Return to CloudFront (cached 1hr)
-    ↓
-User receives Markdown
+
+## Production Deployment
+
+Production deployments are **automatic** via CircleCI when merging to `master`.
+
+### Workflow
+
+1. **Build Job** (`.circleci/config.yml`):
+   - Installs dependencies
+   - Builds Hugo site with production config
+   - Generates LLM-friendly Markdown (`yarn build:md`)
+   - Persists workspace for deploy job
+
+2. **Deploy Job**:
+   - Attaches workspace
+   - Uploads to S3 using s3deploy
+   - Invalidates CloudFront cache
+   - Posts success notification to Slack
+
+### Environment Variables (CircleCI)
+
+Production deployment requires the following environment variables set in CircleCI:
+
+- `BUCKET` - Production S3 bucket name
+- `REGION` - AWS region
+- `CF_DISTRIBUTION_ID` - CloudFront distribution ID
+- `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` - Slack notification webhook
+
+### Trigger Production Deploy
+
+```bash
+git push origin master
 ```
 
-### Repository Structure
+CircleCI will automatically build and deploy.
+
+## LLM Markdown Generation
+
+Both staging and production deployments generate LLM-friendly Markdown files at build time.
 
-All markdown generation code is in this repository:
+### Output Files
 
+The build generates two types of markdown files in `public/`:
+
+1. **Single-page markdown** (`index.md`)
+   - Individual page content with frontmatter
+   - Contains: title, description, URL, product, version, token estimate
+
+2. **Section bundles** (`index.section.md`)
+   - Aggregated section with all child pages
+   - Includes child page list in frontmatter
+   - Optimized for LLM context windows
+
+### Generation Script
+
+```bash
+# Generate all markdown
+yarn build:md
+
+# Generate for specific path
+node scripts/build-llm-markdown.js --path influxdb3/core/get-started
+
+# Limit number of files (for testing)
+node scripts/build-llm-markdown.js --limit 100

+
+### Configuration
+
+Edit `scripts/build-llm-markdown.js` to adjust:
+
+```javascript
+// Skip files smaller than this (Hugo alias redirects)
+const MIN_HTML_SIZE_BYTES = 1024;
+
+// Token estimation ratio
+const CHARS_PER_TOKEN = 4;
+
+// Concurrency (workers)
+const CONCURRENCY = process.env.CI ? 10 : 20;
 ```

+Test markdown generation locally before deploying:
 
 ```bash
 # Prerequisites
 yarn install
 yarn build:ts
 npx hugo --quiet
 
+# Generate markdown for testing
+yarn build:md
+
 # Generate markdown for specific path
-node scripts/html-to-markdown.js --path influxdb3/core/get-started --limit 10
+node scripts/build-llm-markdown.js --path influxdb3/core/get-started --limit 10

   --spec "cypress/e2e/content/markdown-content-validation.cy.js"
 ```
 
+### Validation Checks
+
+The Cypress tests validate:
+
+- ✅ No raw Hugo shortcodes (`{{< >}}` or `{{% %}}`)
+- ✅ No HTML comments
+- ✅ Proper YAML frontmatter with required fields
+- ✅ UI elements removed (feedback forms, navigation)
+- ✅ GitHub-style callouts (Note, Warning, etc.)
+- ✅ Properly formatted tables, lists, and code blocks
+- ✅ Product context metadata
+- ✅ Clean link formatting
+

-### Lambda Deployment
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### s3deploy Not Found
+
+Install the s3deploy binary:
+
+```bash
+./deploy/ci-install-s3deploy.sh
+```
+
+Verify installation:
+
+```bash
+s3deploy -version
+```
+
+### Missing Environment Variables
+
+Check required variables are set:
+
+```bash
+echo $STAGING_BUCKET
+echo $AWS_REGION
+```
+
+Set them if missing:
+
+```bash
+export STAGING_BUCKET="test2.docs.influxdata.com"
+export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
+```
+
+### AWS Permission Errors
+
+Ensure your AWS credentials have the required permissions:
 
-Deploy the Lambda\@Edge function to AWS:
+- `s3:PutObject` - Upload files to S3
+- `s3:DeleteObject` - Delete old files from S3
+- `cloudfront:CreateInvalidation` - Invalidate cache
+
+Check your AWS profile:
 
 ```bash
-# Navigate to Lambda directory
-cd deploy/llm-markdown/lambda-edge/markdown-generator
+aws sts get-caller-identity
+```
+
+### Hugo Build Fails
+
+Check for:
 
-# Install dependencies
-npm install
+- Missing dependencies (`yarn install`)
+- TypeScript compilation errors (`yarn build:ts`)
+- Invalid Hugo configuration
 
-# Deploy to staging
-./deploy.sh staging
+Build Hugo separately to isolate the issue:
 
-# Deploy to production
-./deploy.sh production
+```bash
+yarn hugo --environment staging
 ```
 
-See [deploy/llm-markdown/README.md](deploy/llm-markdown/README.md) for detailed deployment instructions.
+### Markdown Generation Fails
+
+Check for:
+
+- Hugo build completed successfully
+- TypeScript compiled (`yarn build:ts`)
+- Sufficient memory available
+
+Test markdown generation separately:
+
+```bash
+yarn build:md --limit 10
+```
+
+### CloudFront Cache Not Invalidating
+
+If you see stale content after deployment:
+
+1. Check `STAGING_CF_DISTRIBUTION_ID` is set correctly
+2. Verify AWS credentials have `cloudfront:CreateInvalidation` permission
+3. Manual invalidation:
+   ```bash
+   aws cloudfront create-invalidation \
+     --distribution-id E1XXXXXXXXXX \
+     --paths "/*"
+   ```
+
+### Deployment Timing Out
+
+For large deployments:
+
+1. **Skip markdown generation** if unchanged:
+   ```bash
+   SKIP_MARKDOWN=true ./scripts/deploy-staging.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Use s3deploy's incremental upload**:
+   - s3deploy only uploads changed files
+   - First deploy is slower, subsequent deploys are faster
+
+3. **Check network speed**:
+   - Large uploads require good bandwidth
+   - Consider deploying from an AWS region closer to the S3 bucket
+
